Okay, let me tell you about this little adventure I got myself into. You know how sometimes you just get that itch to dig into something? Well, that’s what happened to me with this whole Ann-Margret motorcycle accident in Minnesota thing. I’m a big fan of old Hollywood stars, and Ann-Margret, oh boy, she’s a legend. So, when I heard about her accident, I just had to find out more. I remembered reading something about it a while back, so I started with a basic search. I typed in “Ann-Margret motorcycle accident Minnesota” into the search bar and got a bunch of results.
First thing I noticed was that this happened on August 19, 2000. That’s a while back! It was in Brainerd, Minnesota, which, from what I gathered, is a pretty rural area. I read that she fell off her motorcycle and ended up breaking three ribs and fracturing her left shoulder. Ouch! That sounds really painful. Imagine, three broken ribs and a fractured shoulder, that’s rough. I saw somewhere that she was thrown off the bike after hitting a sandy patch of pavement. Those sandy patches can be tricky, you know? You’re riding along, everything’s fine, and then bam, you hit some sand and lose control.
I went through a few articles, and they all pretty much said the same thing. But then I dug a little deeper and found some interesting tidbits. Like, did you know she’s a big motorcycle enthusiast? I mean, the woman loves bikes. And this wasn’t even her first accident. I saw something about another accident she had in 1972 while performing in Lake Tahoe. She apparently fell from the stage and got pretty banged up then too. Seems like she’s had her share of mishaps, but she’s tough. I found this forum, or something like that, and it had a few posts about her riding. The posts were from a few years, like 2014, 2017, and even one from 2024! People were talking about her bikes and stuff. It’s cool to see that she’s still into riding even after all these years.
- Broke three ribs
- Fractured her left shoulder
- Happened in Brainerd, Minnesota
- She was thrown off her motorcycle
- It happened on August 19, 2000
I kept reading and found out that she was actually the Grand Marshal of some National Hot Rod Association event the very next day after her accident. Can you believe that? She showed up with those injuries! Talk about dedication. And get this, she’s 82 now and still living life in the fast lane, as they say. I saw a recent picture of her at some awards event in Beverly Hills, and she looked great. It’s amazing how she’s still so active and vibrant.
So, yeah, that’s pretty much what I found out about Ann-Margret’s motorcycle accident. It was a bit of a rabbit hole, but it was fun learning more about her. She’s definitely a strong woman, and it’s inspiring to see how she’s overcome these challenges and kept on going.
